Resurgence Luke to me is hands down the winner of the Modern Update Sweepstakes...Uber Articulated, Spot on Likeness and all that Jazz. That said, I think the colors are a bit off and the elbows bug me. While there is probably room for improvement, I still think it blows away all of the closest competitors. VOTC Luke was a good idea in theory but poor likeness and the softgoods just do not work. Saga Luke is actually good likeness wise in the body and proportioned alright but the likeness is POTF2 in quality and the articulation is lacking. Obviously the Early Bird Luke most represents Vintage Luke in articulation. It sucks ass though and just threw it up for comparison and nostalgia reasons

Weeeell, unfortunately, Hasbro loses the Star Wars license in 2018. Sorry to shoot down the bird.

2018 is when the current (and unusually long) contract agreement runs out. Given the successful relationship between Hasbro and Lucasfilm as well as the promise of another animated series and a live-action TV series on the horizon, I have little doubt that both parties will want to renew to contract.

I get what you are saying John, but I think most people are going to go with screen accuracy on scale. He is almost a head shorter than Solo

Seconded from me...

Luke IS short, so I'm a particular collector in that regard. I like short characters to be short, tall characters to be tall, and average ones to be the in-between. Army builders and generic guys like that should fit that mid-range (Harrison Ford/Han Solo is pretty average height) with Leia, Luke, and many others just being short guys and so I'm always geeked when Hasbro gets it right on a figure. ANH Luke is especially short and slight looking in build too... By ESB, Mark Hammill was filling out a little more in bulk but not height.

Hasbro GENERALLY has done well with scale in the last several years... The Death Star Trooper's goofy tall, as are some other characters that seem off for one reason or another, but still they've done pretty well, especially with the main guys.

One of the figures I can't get an idea for height on is Biggs... I've seen pictures of him with Luke that make the two actors seem almost equally short, which would make his TIE Pilot figure accurate and his X-Wing Pilot inaccurate (and I believe his cutscene figure as well). *shrugs* Just one of those things I can't seem to figure out, as I can't find Garrick Hagon's height on IMDB or anywhere else.
